Wynns Coonawarra Estate, John Riddoch, Cabernet Sauvignon, 2021

Wynns Coonawarra Estate, with roots tracing back to the late 1800s, is one of the leading wine producers in the Coonawarra region. Founded in 1951, it is the largest single vineyard, boasting the finest and oldest vineyard sites in Coonawarra.

The estate's origins date back to Scottish pioneer John Riddoch, who planted vineyards in 1891 and completed the iconic three-gabled winery in 1896. In 1951, Melbourne wine merchants Samuel and David Wynn acquired Riddoch’s vineyards and winery, renaming it Wynns Coonawarra Estate. The Wynns family recognised the inherent quality of Coonawarra wines, known for their richness and intense fruit character, and worked to establish a distinctive identity in the region. They developed the iconic label that has made John Riddoch’s winery one of Australia’s most recognised symbols of heritage and refinement, values that Wynns continues to uphold.
